Back to the track today with the non-hex extended wheelbase LC Truggy. Car was actually still really controllable to drive. Decided to buy new Truggy wheels from LC Racing and mount up some new AKA tires along with a new body in my "team colors" to match it's bigger brother.
Today was the first day I actually ran all 4 of my packs through the truck because it was just doing so well. The new tires made a big difference and I didn't feel at a disadvantage from the 30mm reduction in footprint. Car held up great with no breakage or issues.

Swapped the 35wt for 45wt fluid front and rear last night. Back at the track and the car felt more sorted than ever. Had to back off the shock collar's a bit so it wasn't too stiff but this little thing was passing 17.5T Stadium Trucks and Buggy's all night long and could now take and soak up the triple jump at the track without any issue.
No broken parts, no bent parts, no worn parts and we're 10 months in running this thing. Even the stock plastic spur is still holding up like a champ.

Daedalus, is there a 1/14th class in Omaha? Would be nice to find a track somewhat close to race at once or twice a year

Nah there isn't unfortunately. That being said, they will run any class so long as 3 or more cars show up so technically I just need to get a few guys on board to run them.

The aluminum hexes (extenders) were getting bent where the pins sat inside them. I ended up ditching the extenders all together.
Lost some width but the car doesn't seem too negatively impacted from a stability standpoint and without the additional 30mm in width there is less leverage on the ball cups so they have stopped popping off on larger crashes and tumbles.

I ran the LC Truggy wheels as they are the only thing that have the correct offsets.
I also tried the extenders so I could use AKA 1/10th buggy rear wheels but the extenders ended up failing and not being durable enough so I went back to LC wheels.

Only place I could find to buy them (http://www.aliexpress.com/item/LC-RA...0-480b3f26c9b9).
ThumbRC doesn't seem to carry this particular part or any other US distributor so I bought from Aliexpress. Took about 2 weeks to arrive but no complaints other than that.
